18k Gucci Signature Bracelet

Signature jewelry can be a genuine designer piece that bears the logo or signature of the designer, such as Fire Island Gems’ white or yellow gold Gucci bracelet that comes packaged in the original Gucci pouch and Gucci box. The Gucci logo is displayed on the signature ingot on the bracelet.

Or a signature piece of fine diamond jewelry can be a design or style that you wear every day or on specific occasions, and therefore becomes your signature piece. For example, family and friends know that your diamond chain is a favorite and you wear it almost every day, or that it’s a special occasion when you wear your diamond chandelier earrings because you save them for red carpet events.

A signature piece can be a diamond gold cross pendant or diamond stud earrings that go with everything you wear, from jeans to a formal gown, or it can be a special piece that reminds you, your family, and your friends of where or when you received it, who gave it to you, the sentiments attached to it, or how special you feel when you wear it. It can even be a signature set; many of our selections at Fire Island Gems have matching earrings, necklace, ring, and/or bracelet.

Fire Island Gems offers an array of signature diamond jewelry to match any budget, personal preference, or fashion style, for both everyday wear and formal occasions. Whether you’re looking for a classic estate piece or modern style, browse our catalog and find your signature piece.

Satin finish everyday diamond ring

How often have you not even considered purchasing diamond jewelry because it is so expensive and dazzling, and you want something you can wear every day?

You will wear your wedding set every day. Other than that, diamond jewelry can be selected just as you select your wardrobe and other accessories, so that you have something different you can wear ANY day. Even men can find diamond jewelry with a rugged appearance and sturdy construction that can hold up to an active lifestyle.

Demure everyday pendant

Perhaps you will purchase one signature piece that you love dearly and seems to go with most of your wardrobe. Depending on your personal style, this could be classic pearl diamond jewelry, or perhaps gemstone diamond stud earrings that contain your birthstone. Subtle pastel gemstone diamond jewelry is also a fantastic addition to your everyday wardrobe and accessories.

Your wardrobe will help you define what jewelry to wear. A certain style of neckline on a blouse or dress will beg for a necklace, whether a modest cross or a fabulous pendant. A shorter sleeve can make a simple bracelet stand out, or an understated ring with channel set diamonds.

An up-swept hairdo may call for hoop or drop earrings, while simple diamond stud earrings will add subdued sparkle to jeans or office attire no matter what hair style you sport. When going from office to dinner, the simple addition of some diamond jewelry can make you feel dressed for the occasion, rather than too rushed to go home to dress up.

Aquamarine birthstone earrings, subtle and charming

Diamond jewelry worn for special occasions will not only attract attention but will notify your admirers that the event is special to you. Any attention drawn to your jewelry reminds you and others of where and when the jewelry was gifted to you. A special necklace worn can remind you of the birthday on which you received it, and how special the gift giver is to you.

There are so many reasons not to wear the same jewelry every day, whether it be for style, memories, or creating a special moment seemingly out of thin air.

Tourmalines contain various trace minerals that give them their color; pink tourmalines, for example, contain manganese. The pink tourmaline is widely available and therefore more affordable than some other colors. This combined with their durability makes them suitable for everyday wear.

However, especially when combined with diamonds, tourmalines exude luxury and elegance. Fire Island Gems offers sterling silver pink tourmaline and diamond stud earrings as a stunning example of how a simple stone for the woman who loves pink can be transformed into a dazzling piece of jewelry with a few diamonds and a unique setting.

The jewelry they adorn has a simple grace loved by women everywhere. The color pink expresses warmth, affection, friendship, and love – which is why this particular type of tourmaline is deemed perfect as a Valentine’s gift, wedding gift, housewarming gift, or gift for any special occasion when heartfelt sentiments long for expression.

Tourmaline also has unusual electrical qualities. When it is warmed or rubbed, it attracts small particles of paper, lint and dust, because it holds static electricity. Maintaining a tourmaline exhibit at museums or gemstone shows requires frequent cleaning of the gemstone because heat from display lights create a charge in the stone that attracts dust.

Because of the durability of the tourmaline, you can clean your tourmaline jewelry at home with mild dish soap and a toothbrush.

Lore and Myth

Tourmaline’s association with the rainbow is expressed in ancient Egyptian lore. The gemstone made a long journey from the center of the earth and along its way it passed over a rainbow, absorbing all the colors. The colors range from red to green, blue, and yellow, and very often even multiple hues. Some colors change when exposed to artificial light.

In ancient times it was believed that the tourmaline had magical powers. The gemstone was said to promote long-lasting love and friendship, calm and gentle behavior, artistic expression, and intuition.

Whether or not you believe the tourmaline has magical properties, this gem’s durability and varied palette inspires designers to create jewelry to suit every person, mood, wardrobe and style.

With the right kind of planning, you can be assured of pleasing the man who receives your gift. Make note of your man’s style, what kind of clothing he likes to wear, what kind of jewelry he already owns. How does he like to accessorize, what kind of personality does he have? Is his style formal or casual, understated or bold, all business or playfully relaxed?

If you carefully consider how your partner, father, or friend would complete an outfit with a piece of jewelry, and choose something that will reflect not only his style but your heartfelt sentiments, how can you go wrong? Whether it’s the joy of a birthday, pride in an accomplishment, a milestone anniversary or a token of your hopes, dreams, or affection, any of the following gift ideas will suit the occasion.

A man’s bracelet can be made of almost any material: it can be a leather thong, a metal such as gold, copper, or silver, a simple chain or an engraved band. Classic silver or white gold bracelets are stylish with a casual or formal look, and everything in between. It’s best to choose a muted or neutral tone as this is usually regarded as being more masculine.

Necklaces add a refined look to any outfit, with a simple chain or a pendant being popular with most men. Limit your choice to casual styling and one single piece unless your man regularly sports outrageous bling.

As for earrings, again, unless your man is unusually flamboyant, simple stud earrings are the best choice. But if your partner or friend likes making a bold statement, perhaps a hoop earring or a small dangling one will be more to his tastes. Keep in mind also that unless you are sure he will want something flashier, opt for simple patterns and styles.

White gold continues to be the metal most often purchased, and while earrings, as usual, dominate sales overall, bracelets are gaining in popularity.

So whether you’re purchasing for yourself or for another, why not consider a matching set, bracelet and earrings? This gift is a winning combination, sure to bring joy to the wearer. Our white gold diamond heart bracelet pairs well with our diamond open heart huggy earrings.

The celebration of Bulgari’s 125th anniversary is highlighted by displays of jewelry worn by famous Italian women as well as movie stars and celebrities from all around the world. There is an entire room devoted to the Bulgari styles worn by Elizabeth Taylor, for example.

The point of the display is to tell the story of style, not just individual jewelry pieces, and how the company’s reputation was built over 125 years, up to and including contributions by their current celebrity spokesperson, actress Julianne Moore.

While the exhibition is a stunning tribute to one company’s contribution to the jewelry industry, it serves to point out how fine diamond jewelry can contribute to any woman’s personal style, her personal collection of keynote adornments and accessories, and to her heirloom legacy.

For the woman who loves the classic look, there are pearl diamond earrings to go with that strand of pearls she already has, or estate jewelry with traditionally elegant channel or bezel settings. If your favorite gal follows the fashion, check out white or yellow gold colored diamond earrings. And then there are those who are romantic at heart, for you nothing says romance like diamond heart earrings.

Dazzling diamonds fit every personality and occasion. If your love doesn’t yet own any diamond earrings, then diamond stud earrings are the perfect choice. They are the most versatile style, as they can accessorize jeans, office wear, or the elegant little black dress.

For the first-time diamond earrings owner, there are the classic studs, after which she will be ready for something a bit more glamorous, or something fashionably unique to accent the latest trends in fashion or the latest seasonal wear.

Fire Island Gems has something colorful to match that new outfit, to dramatize the special occasion, or complement every style. Even if the woman in your life only wears the simplest hoop earrings, she’ll love diamond gold hoops -they’ll express your love and make her feel so special and beautiful. That’s what the gift of diamonds does for a woman!

One key to consumer satisfaction is offering them flexibility in how much they spend. An excellent choice in that respect is a diamond gold or silver charm bracelet. A gold or silver chain is a lovely bracelet in itself; add a charm and it becomes even more special. Diamond gold charms can be purchased by others to add to the bracelet as money allows or as occasions present themselves.

A charm can also be worn as a pendant on a chain around the neck. For that matter, pendants offer another flexible option. Oftentimes the person receiving the gift already owns a chain, so a pendant can be gifted without purchasing a new chain. Or, again, a chain can be purchased separately and then interchangeable pendants and charms can be bought on different holidays and occasions.

Because of the delicate transparency of aquamarines, these gemstones need to be quite large for the color to be sufficiently intense. Most blue aquamarine seen on the market is the result of heat treatment on greenish-yellow or brownish-yellow stones. The blue color is induced by heating to a temperature between 250 and 720 degree Celsius for varying time periods and the resultant color is permanent.

Aquamarine tends to be brittle, therefore care should be taken while handling the stone and setting it in jewelry. Care should also be taken in storing aquamarine jewelry separate from other jewelry, especially diamonds which can chip or scratch these fragile beauties.

Aquamarine Lore

Aquamarine is the gemstone of March and also of those born under the sign of Cancer. The gemstone aquamarine carries a receptive charge, making it a soothing gemstone used in weaving love magic. Receptive gemstones are also believed to impart wisdom, compassion and psychic vision.

Aquamarine means ’sea water’ in Latin, making it a favorite gemstone of those traveling across bodies of water, including surfers, swimmers, and boating enthusiasts.

If you believe in the existence and power of the Chakras, aquamarine is used for the throat chakra and its subtle body association is etheric and of the mind.

Aquamarine’s planetary ruler is the moon, making this a wonderful gemstone for women. The gemstones that combine well with aquamarine in jewelry are those that are white. For example, clear crystal quartz, moonstone and the organic material pearl. They also combine with white diamonds in stunning jewelry.

Price

While the aquamarine is a semi-precious colored gemstone, it is not inexpensive. Based on the color, clarity, size and toughness of the gemstone one can expect to pay between $150 and $1,200 per carat for a top quality aquamarine.
